About this listen
Feeling stressed out and tired all the time? Never have time for yourself? Work tirelessly but you aren't productive? Have a full schedule but still feel you never get things done?
It is quite likely you answered yes to all these questions. Life ain't easy, that's the truth. But we make it even harder ourselves with unnecessary and unimportant stuff.
Wouldn't it be nice to find a solution to all these problems?
Trust me, there is! I won't lie, some of these tips will be hard to do because you are so used to doing them or having them in your everyday life, but it will get easier in no time. Material, emotional, and even electronic cluttering is taking a toll on your mind and body - stuff you think you need in your life, but is just hindering it. In this book, you will find easy-to-follow solutions to have a blissful and pacific way of life.
Scroll back up and check out the questions again. Now imagine that in the near future the only answer to these questions will be "no."
Follow me on a journey of self-discovery and blissfulness.

I think that for most people, home is one of the most, if not the most valuable asset. It's a place of comfort, relaxation, coziness, and peace - at least it should feel like this. And if it doesn’t, there must be some changes to be made there. Inside this book, I will teach you can make those changes the following the minimalist approach.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.

Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo - he's just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn't absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him.

Before you can achieve anything in life, you need a solid foundation of self-discipline. Talent, intelligence, and skill are only a part of the equation. Positive thinking, affirmations, and vision boards are only a part of the equation. If you want to turn your dreams into reality, you need self-discipline. Self-discipline is what will keep you focused when all hell is breaking loose, and it looks like you are one step away from failure.

How many times have you caught yourself lying in bed, watching TV, scrolling your phone, or just chilling and doing nothing? Trust me. I know how it feels like. Often, it looks like you want to do something, but your body just doesn’t respond, and at the end of the day, you start your mental self-destruction process because you haven’t done anything productive - and that is the first stage of super-laziness most people have to overcome.

A must listen
This book proves that simple living is for everybody! anthony uses her own experience as a wife and mother to help each of us shape our own minimalist lifestyle - no matter the size of the family or home! Her writing is clear and light, making the idea of removing clutter and distraction doable and fun. As a mom of small children, I appreciate her ideas for incorporating minimalism into parenting and raising kids with gratitude and generosity in the forefront of their minds. I am so thankful for this book and recommend it for anyone interested in minimalism.

Love this book.
It is quite likely you answered yes to all these questions. Life ain't easy, that's the truth. But we make it even harder ourselves with unnecessary and unimportant stuff. There's a great list of prompts at the end of the book that will help get your creative juices flowing. These prompts will also be very helpful in exploring different feelings, behaviors - all the better for more self-discovery.
